now to baltimore, maryland. stephen, thanks for calling. caller: good morning. i'm a 20-year-old college student, conservative and hard, but when mitt romney makes a comment on redistribution of wealth, i would have to agree, because it is hurting the economy. even though i am a beneficiary. as far as him making the comments at a private fund- raiser, that is his own ideology, his own opinion. i don't believe that should affect his campaign in any negative manner. host: this on twitter -- i want to go next to kathleen from north carolina. how do you think the romney campaign has reacted to the comments yesterday and the fervor it created? caller: i really think the romney campaign needed to sit back and let the rest of the united states think for themselves, because his comments was right. i became a republic in the day after nancy pelosi walked up the steps of the courthouse with a huge gamble in her hand, because i thought the democratic party had left me behind and i don't want to live under the heavy hand of the government. that is exactly why i left the dem
